That's because of the strut design of the car (and having to possibly use a spacer if you lower it) nothing wrong w/ 8.5

I want so spend around 1200 - 1300 just wheels. Mounting, tires, and balancing is seperate. Already have tires

[Projekt_BooGie]

ok so:
1) $1300 max
2) don't want a five star
3) want flush

Do that sound right???

[Motastic]

yes that does sound about right

[Motastic]

So I think I cant be unique so might as well bite the bullet and get these

http://www.**********s.com/Alufelgen-CS7-Wheels-BMW.htm

what do you think?

Also what Offset should i get for them to sit flush? I want to have a staggered setup. I am running 235/35/19 and 265/30/19.

P.S. how is the quality of Alufelgen compared to linea corse?

That thread is helpful...

see some things I like but not enough to die for

do you think they have these (http://www.e90post.com/forums/attach...1&d=1333129992) in a rep maybe in matte black or gun metal?

Also If it comes down to it and I get the alufelgen's what offset's should I get on those?

miro makes them

but not in matte black you would prob have to paint them yourself

If you got the Alufelgen I would say 19x8.5(+35) /9.5(+20). You could do the +15mm up front, but that will stick the wheel out 4mm past the fender.

ya def dont want it sticking out nor do i want to roll them


the +20 in the back wont make it rub and it will still have some sort of concavity to it, correct?

I'm not sure about the concavity related to offsets for this wheel. I know some wheels like my vossens whether I got the higher or lower offset the concavity was not affected.

[ModBargains.com]

Offset does not affect concavity on a cast wheel. What affects concavity would be the width of the wheel and the overall design in general. The 19x9.5 ET20-22 will work on the car but will require you to roll your rear fenders if you're planning to lower the car. The recommended fitment is the 19x8.5 ET30-35 with a 235/35/19 up front and the 19x9.5 ET33-35 with a 265/30/19 in the rear.
